Tiniest Puppy Found Wandering Alone In The Middle Of Nowhere

It was a very hot day in northern Spain recently, pushing 100 degrees outside, and the people and animals at an animal sanctuary there were just trying to stay cool.

But when you're in the animal rescuing game, there's never really a day off. And that fact was underscored by some whimpering one of the cofounders of Mino Valley Farm Sanctuary heard coming from underneath his car.

The sanctuary deliberately keeps its exact location under wraps to prevent this very thing from happening; people who, for some reason, won't take responsibility for their animals sometimes decide to abandon them at the sanctuary's doorstep.

But it still sometimes happens. And of course Geer and her crew could not turn this tiny puppy away. They rushed him to the vet.

Now Ragnar is making friends at the sanctuary. He loves snuggling and playing with Teddy, an older dog at Mino Valley, who, oddly enough, was also dumped and found under the founder's car four years ago.
